"It went well! I think I should be able to get decent scores this time, I know how to do most of the problems!" He Dongxue responded, then chatted about some family stuff with He Teng, quickly urging He Teng to pass the phone to He Zhilan. Once He Zhilan picked up the phone, He Dongxue promptly greeted her sister-in-law.
He Dongxue had been busy with her coursework, so He Zhilan didn’t write to her very often. Instead, whenever she had free time, she would call home.
"Sister-in-law, do you think I should apply to colleges in the capital? I could stay with you in the capital in the future! But I definitely can’t get into Capital University. Other colleges in the capital, for sure! I’m just thinking, should I attend the Normal University in the capital, or the Medical University in the capital? Or should I just apply directly to the First Military Medical University in the capital? Just like my brother, and become a soldier!"
He Dongxue was very excited talking about these three universities, which were the ones she’d been considering after taking the college entrance exam. Everyone at home, including her dad, aunt, and uncle, were all in agreement.
"After graduating from the Normal University, you can become a teacher, and the profession of a teacher is always well-respected. I think this is a good choice. Becoming a doctor after graduating from the Medical University or the Military Medical University is also a good choice. However, there’s a bit of a difference between the Medical University and the Military Medical University; studying at the Military Medical University would definitely be tougher. So if you want to attend the Military Medical University, you have to be prepared to become a soldier. However, I think if you can get into the Military Medical University, that would be quite good, just like you said, becoming a soldier like your brother, even a female soldier, you’d still be admired!"
"That sounds quite good!" He Dongxue laughed, "Now give the phone to my brother, I want to hear his opinion!"
He Zhilan smiled and handed the phone to He Teng, saying, "Dongxue wants to ask your opinion on her applying to the First Military Medical University in the capital. She probably wants to ask if it’s good to be a soldier."
Hearing that He Dongxue herself wanted to come to the capital, He Zhilan was relieved. In this way, she wouldn’t need to persuade He Dongxue, and from the tone of He Dongxue, it sounded like she was quite confident.
Then, the phone was taken by their father. Apart from asking about their health, his main concern was whether or not He Zhilan would return home for summer break.
As a father, if He Zhilan wanted to stay with the troops to accompany He Teng, he would be quite pleased. But deep down, he would inevitably feel a bit disappointed. After all, he hadn’t seen his daughter He Zhilan for nearly a year.
"Dad, don’t worry. I will definitely come home this summer! Even if you don’t miss me, I miss you! I haven’t seen you for a year, I wonder how much more handsome you’ve become. If I don’t see you for too long and you become so handsome that I can’t recognize you, that would be terrible!" He Zhilan said in a teasing way. Hearing her father’s hearty laughter on the phone, she felt immensely satisfied.
"I’m just afraid when you come back and see that I’ve aged, you’ll be disappointed!" Hearing that He Zhilan would come back for summer vacation, her father was overjoyed, "When you come back, tell me in advance. After you buy the train ticket, give me a call so that I can pick you up at the train station in the county."
"Okay!" He Zhilan gladly agreed. She was originally going to bring up the matter of going to C Province, but considering He Teng has not yet expressed his opinion, she didn’t bring it up right away. She thought it would be better to inform her family after a solid decision had been made.
